I woke up from my deep slumber with a start. Wiping the beads of sweat from my forehead, I rose from my bed and sluggishly walked to my bathroom.
After splashing some water onto my face I trudged downstairs to the kitchen in my childhood home. It's been 10 months since I left New York and that incident occurred and my life seemed to be stable… so far.
My job in The Carver Café was going well. I had managed to make several friends here in Forks again, so if I ever went missing it wouldn't go unnoticed.
Although things were working out in my favor, I couldn't help but get the feeling that all of this would end very soon.
After eating my breakfast, I lazily walked up the stairs and jumped into the shower. I let the water wash away all my worries, even if only for a moment.
Stepping out of the shower, I wrapped myself in my towel and stood in front of the mirror.
What happened to you Bella, you used to be so lively and….normal.
I couldn't help but feel sorry for myself as I looked at the dirty-eyed, pale girl in front of me. My hair was now at shoulder length seeing that I had cut it one month ago.
I quickly dry myself off and put on my uniform. Rushing to the café, I take a quick look at my watch and see that I only have five minutes to get there on time. Breaking into a slow jog, I manage to make it only three minutes after the designated time and put on my roller skates – the mandatory footwear.
After nearly five hours of taking orders I decide to take a thirty-minute break in the kitchen. Ten-minutes into my break I hear the bell ring signaling the entrance of a new customer. Standing up from my seat, I look through the kitchen doors only to immediately shut them and fall onto my knees.
NO!
I wrap my hands together into a fist to keep them from shaking so much.
I slowly stand up and look through the pass through window and hold my hand over my mouth to keep from gasping in fear. I slide down the counter and hold my hands over my heart. Edward was less than 10 feet away from me.
"Bella, what are you doing?"
I turn around with a start and let out a sigh of relief once I realize that it was Angela.
"Shhh! Angela, I need you to be really quiet right now."
"Why? Is there a problem?" I let out a silent thank you as Angela's voice drops in to a whisper.
"I need to get away from those men in the diner and I need your help."
"Who are they?"
"I can't answer that right now, but I really need your car keys." I mumble to her as I tightly grasp her wrists in my hands."
"Bella I-"
"Can't we get any good service in here?" Angela is abruptly interrupted by a loud voice in the other room. I quickly grab Angela's hand and pull her down to the floor with me.
"I need your car keys."
"Bella what on earth is going on?"
"I already said I can't tell you right now. If you're going to help me now would be the right time to do it." We stare into each others eyes for a brief moment before Angela grabs her keys from her pockets and reluctantly hands them over to me.
"Thank you," I say with tears swimming in my eyes,"I 'll pay you back for this one day. Now go out there and pretend like nothing's wrong. I'll try to contact you when I'm in a much safer place."
Angela stiffly nods her head at me and stands up. She grabs my notebook and walks out of the kitchen.
Once the doors close I start to crawl towards the back door. I pull it open and sprint out of the café as fast as my legs can carry me. Jumping into Angela's car I put the key into the ignition and put the car into reverse. Swerving out of the parking spot, I speed out of the lot and out into the afternoon sky.
Behind me I hear several shouts and the distant revving of engines. At this point I can only hope that Angela is okay and pray that they wouldn't be able to catch up to me.
I won't let this happen again.
After finally driving for several hours I manage to get to Port Angeles. I pull into a motel and park the car. I take a deep breath and close my eyes for several seconds.
I eventually get a hold of myself and start to search through Angela's compartments. I come across fifty dollars and thirty-two cents.
Hopefully it's enough for two nights.
I step out of the car and head towards the front desk. After booking my room for two nights I hastily rush inside and lock the door.
I peek outside the window for a little reassurance then I fall face forward onto the bed.
Unwillingly, a few tears seep out of my eyes and into the pillow. Eventually my tears become a waterfall as I start sobbing about what my ilfe has become and reminiscing about how simple it used to be.
Eventually, I close my eyes and let the darkness of sleep consume me.

I prop my elbows on the dusty armchair in the dull room. I look at the silent body lying on the bed with a small smile on my face.
I finally have her, and I'm not letting her get away this time.
After watching her sleep for twenty minutes, I loudly clear my throat and watch as she starts to stir on the bed.
She finally opens her eyes after a moment of complete silence and anticipation.
I watch as the recognition flitters across her face and then the panic as it steadily settles in her eyes.
"Hello Bella." I say with a smirk plastered unto my lips.
And scene. I now everything might be very confusing right now, but please be patient and know that I am going to clear everything up in the later chapters. I honestly don't know what the younger version of myself was thinking at the time but hopefully everything will be crystal clear in due time. Please give me feedback about this chapter. Oh and I'm eating Nutella (bet you wish you had some). Don't forget to follow me on all my social media.
